Frustration - the middle management conundrum and rude people

Hey everyone.

I was just about to get back into the swing of things on Hive with no more long hours at the ship and a better work environment...

... but circumstances have led me back to and into worse.

Basically, Middel Management sucks. I bear the brunt of the responsibility, and sometimes people slip up on site. Sometimes, it is a small mistake, but it absolutely has to be resolved.

When this happens, top management wants to cut a deal and do something for free while the guys at the bottom all deny having had responsibility for the problem.

Therefore, everyone looks at me.

This time, I will not even give the working level guys the chance to redeem their screw-up by fixing it myself!

I am angry. Everyone jumped away from this problem and I am left on my own, standing on the battlefield with our banner raised. Only to find that nobody as any loyalty to the company.

Meanwhile management looks at me because I was in charge.

The issue is about a small issue and nobody picked it up. I will need to work for a few hours and resolve the issue.

I hope that everyone else has an easier work day.

Cheers!

I feel for you, man ! Hopefully you can get it sorted out.

I've done the middle management thing. At my last job before deciding to work for myself, I was so disenchanted towards the end that when people asked what my role was, I'd just say "official scapegoat".
